Ok, you all know me.
I don't cry nerf when I've done two combines after a patch.
I don't cry nerf when I hunt something "common" for 10 minutes and get zero drops.
I don't cry nerf, for the most part, EVER.
LoY zones has been nerfed, and in a BIG way. It was unannounced, and nobody official has confirmed anything.
The spawn rate of named mobs has been turned WAAAY down.
The drop rate of miscellanious loot, and gems have been toned WAY down.
I didn't get this info entirely by myself. I demanded proof. I asked people in Dulak, while I was there for 4 days on a single camp. I asked people who hunt in nadox constantly. I checked with my guild. I asked people in the serverwide channels.
Everywhere, Everyone I talk to has the same story.
Nameds are obnoxiously rare since 05/14/03. Gems are less, and worse.
I was camping the Overseer in Dulak for 3-4 days. Two of which were weekend days(significant playtime), and two were weekdays(3-4 hours).
A level 60 enchanter friend of mine used to live in Nadox. It was quiet, she could Duo with a shaman friend, and she made good money. The gems were nice, and the loot wasnt bad at all.
A level 58 Cleric friend of mine also used to spend a bit of time in Nadox.
Everywhere, Everyone I talk to has the same story.
Instead of blue diamonds and diamonds, people are seeing Fire Opals and Sapphires. In half of the quantity. Blue Diamonds are hellaciously rare.
People are very very upset. I know of one guy who has been in Dulak even longer then I was, and has yet to see ANY of the captians pop.
All that is left is hard hitting mobs, tightly packed, with iffy pathing, that drop minor cash loot. Non stackable swords and shields worth 4p. And some coin on the corpse. Not bad, but not worth porting to stonebrunt, invising through a zone or two, and fighting in.
I hope this was an accident. I hope with all of my heart that this was an unintentional change, and they can fix it. Otherwise, the brand new zones that some of us loved very dearly, will become out of the way spots with semi-decent exp, instead of zones we spend our time in having what passes for fun.
